SIM7600G-H-PCIE User Guide

Overview

The SIM7600G-H-PCIE series is the LTE Cat 4 module that supports wireless communication modes of LTE-TDD/LTE-FDD/HSPA+/GSM/GPRS/EDGE etc. It supports a maximum 150Mbps downlink rate and 50Mbps uplink rate.

The SIM7600G-H-PCIE series adopts a mini PCIe form factor and consists of a SIM7600-H series module and a mini PCIe adapter board. It is easy for customers to integrate.

The SIM7600G-H-PCIE series integrates multiple satellites with high accuracy positioning GNSS systems, with multiple built-in network protocols, supports drivers for main operation systems (USB driver for Windows, Linux and Android, etc.) and software function, AT commands are compatible with SIM7500/SIM7600 series modules.

Meanwhile, the SIM7600G-H-PCIE series integrates main industrial standard interfaces, with powerful expansibility, including abundant interfaces such as UART, USB, and GPIO, which are suitable for main IoT applications such as telematics, surveillance devices, CPE, industrial routers, and remote diagnostics, etc.

The supply voltage should be about 4.0V for properly working.
Please check the interface before you use the module. M.2 B Key is not compatible with MINI-PCIE.

Indicators

STA	NET	Status
ON	OFF	Turning off or turning on
ON	OFF	Operating
ON	ON	SIM card isn't inserted or weak signal
ON	Blink	Networking, working normal
OFF	Blink/ON	Shutdowning

Please make sure that you have connected and powered the module normally before you configure it.

Set up 4G in Raspberry Pi

Open a terminal and run the following commands to install minicom.

sudo apt-get install minicom

Open the minicom:

sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB2

Configure the module by the following command in minicom.

AT+CUSBPIDSWITCH=9011,1,1

Configure the port and networking.

sudo dhclient -v usb0

If you set up the module successfully, however, it cannot be networking normally, please try to change the frequency by the AT command (just choose one of them).

AT+CNBP=0x0002000000400183,0x000001E000000000,0x0000000000000021
AT+CNBP=0x0002000000400180,0x480000000000000000000000000000000000000000000042000001E200000095,0x0000000000000021

AT commands

If the module cannot connect to the network normally, please use minicom and AT commands to check the module.

sudo apt-get install minicom
sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB2

Common AT commands: The following commands are working for both 4G/5G modules

Comamnd	Description	Return
AT	AT test command	OK

FAQ

Question:I'm trying to set it up on a Raspberry Pi 4 with Ubuntu 2. Do you have reliable setup documentation I could use to set up a network connection using your 4G hardware?

Answer:

Yes, Raspberry PI's official Ubuntu is also based on Rabian; The driver installation is the same as Raspbian; You can also use RNDIS to dial without the NIC
